Review & FAQ:

The Northeast Cannonball is a 3,769-foot-high mountain on the narrow ridge between Cannon Mountain and the North Kinsman, and is the highest point in the area. You can get a view of Cannon Mountain from a unique perspective from the wide-open space close to the Cannonball’s summit. The best view of the Cannonballs is from Lonesome Lake. The Lonesome Lake Trail starts at the Lafayette Campground in Franconia Notch and offers a direct route to the mountain summit. It takes 1.2 miles to reach Lonesome Lake and it is 1.1 miles more to the Kinsman Ridge Trail. The trail climbs steeply to the summit, making an 8-mile loop.
